Summary
The Astros are on the brink of the playoffs with a 46-48 record and a chance to seize momentum in a crucial series finale against Washington. After a gritty 6-3 win Tuesday, Houston’s bullpen and depth delivered when it mattered most. Now, they face top young pitcher Foster Griffin — a Japanese import with a 2.87 ERA and 100 strikeouts — in Wednesday’s 5:45 PM Central showdown at Nationals Park. Spencer Arrighetti takes the mound for Houston (7-4, 3.81 ERA), while Nick Allen, who drove in three runs Tuesday, returns at shortstop in a key matchup against Griffin. Jose Altuve leads off, tasked with setting the tone against a tough arm. Winning two of three would signal Houston’s ability to compete at the highest level — and prove they’re ready to make a run.
